Host an AISA PLI at Your School

AISA welcomes applications from all Full Member schools to host a Professional Learning Institute (PLI). If you are planning a Professional Learning event for teachers at your school, you can open this up to participants from other AISA schools. Or, if you want to bring an internationally recognised expert to your school, but are concerned about the costs involved, inviting participants from other AISA member schools can generate revenue to offset some of the costs involved in the event.

The advantages of hosting an AISA Professional Learning Institute (PLI)

An opportunity to bring a variety of educators together, from your school and other AISA member schools, who are interested and committed to the same aspect of professional learning and can establish links and networks.

For every participant from another AISA school, the host school receives approximately $335 in registration fees

*Note that the Host School will be in charge of paying for all costs related to the PLI and the facilitator. Opening up the PLI to other AISA schools will help reduce the costs and has the advantage of encouraging networking and collaboration between AISA education professionals.

AISA manages the online registration and fee collection

AISA assists with marketing and promotions for the event
